18. Hitchcock & Wheatley (Rebecca)
Welcome to the latest episode of the MOTION PICTURES podcast.
Your hosts, Carl Sweeney & Tony Black, in a special crossover event with THE MOVIE PALACE podcast, focus in on Daphne du Maurier's legendary Gothic melodrama REBECCA.
We focus on Ben Wheatley's brand new adaptation, drawing comparisons and differences with Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1940 version, and discuss the new film's ins & outs. Does it do the novel justice, or Hitchcock's film? Does it track with Wheatley's previous output? And who, exactly, is this new version for?
Plus! We share our thoughts on BORAT: SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM after the last episode, and discuss the intriguing possibility of NO TIME TO DIE premiering on a streaming service...

17. The Reality of Comedy (Borat)
Welcome to the latest episode of the MOTION PICTURES podcast.
Your hosts, Carl Sweeney & Tony Black, in this episode are discussing comedy on the eve of the release of BORAT: SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM.
We go back to 2006 to examine BORAT, the first movie from Sacha Baron Cohen featuring his Kazakh creation, as we try and get to the nub of Cohen's fearless mirth making. What is his comedy saying? Why is he saying it? And will he be able to repeat the trick?
Plus! We catch up a little on the events in the Covid-cinema world after our previous episode...
